For further information, we refer you to the registration statement on Form F-3, including its exhibits, of which this prospectus supplement

FORWARD-LOOK I N G ST AT EM EN T S
Statements included in the prospectus, this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding the BAT Group's future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial
conditions, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, including "forward-
looking" statements made within the meaning of Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could",
"estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "outlook", "plan", "positioned", "potential", "predict", "project", "should", "strategy", "target", "will", "would"
and similar expressions. These include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things,
our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the economic and business circumstances
occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the BAT Group operates.
All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause actual future financial condition, performance and results to differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and results
expressed in the forward-looking statements and other financial and/or statistical data within this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein. The BAT Group believes that the expectations reflected in this document
are reasonable, but they may be affected by a wide range of variables that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
currently anticipated. Among the key factors that could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial
position of the BAT Group and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements,
are:

·
competitive actions and pricing pressures in the marketplace, including competition from illicit sources, market size reduction

and consumer down-trading;

·
limitations on advertising and marketing of tobacco products;

·
changes in tobacco-related, tax and other laws and regulations, the interpretation of such laws and regulations by governmental

authorities or adverse decisions by domestic or international regulatory bodies;

·
the outcome of pending or potential litigation, including tobacco litigation, environmental litigation and personal injury claims and

significant monetary obligations imposed under outstanding settlement agreements;

·
economic, regulatory and geopolitical risks (including as a result of COVID-19) inherent in the BAT Group's global operations;

·
risks relating to the ability to maintain credit ratings and to fund the business under the current capital structure;

·
risks relating to government regulations or actions adversely affecting the BAT Group's business, including the BAT Group

becoming subject to substantial and increasing U.S. regulations, in particular in relation to the nicotine level or use of menthol in
tobacco products, including by virtue of the BAT Group's increased ownership in RAI;

·
the continuing decline in cigarette consumption, or the overall consumption of legitimate tobacco products or the transition of

adult tobacco consumers away from premium cigarette brands;

·
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;

·
potentially significant costs in the event of breaches of, or liabilities arising under, health and safety and environmental laws;

·
the impact of serious injury, illness or death in the workplace;

S-2
Table of Contents

·
liquidity, interest rate and counterparty risks; and

·
the inability to develop, commercialize and deliver the New Categories strategy.
For a further discussion of these and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties applicable to us, see "Risk Factors" of this prospectus

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser. The
forward-looking statements reflect knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of this document and the BAT Group
undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-

We have filed a registration statement on Form F-3, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, with the SEC under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder, for the registration of the Notes that are being

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, BAT is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to
foreign private issuers. As a "foreign private issuer", we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing certain disclosure
and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations. In accordance with the requirements applicable to foreign private issuers, BAT files its
Annual Reports on Form 20-F and other documents with the SEC. BAT's SEC filings are available to the public, together with the public

3-05 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.
(1) Part (b) of Note 29 in the Notes on the Accounts in the 2019 Form 20-F ("Note 29") contains condensed consolidating information to satisfy the
requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. For purposes of this prospectus supplement which incorporates by reference the
2019 Form 20-F, the financial information included in Note 29 for British American Tobacco Holdings (The Netherlands) B.V. ("BATHTN") should be
added to the column labeled "All other companies, Non-guarantor subsidiaries", as BATHTN will not provide a guarantee in respect of any debt securities
described in this prospectus supplement. In addition, BATCAP is the issuer of the Notes offered under this prospectus supplement, and BATIF is a
subsidiary guarantor of the Notes offered under this prospectus supplement.
All documents subsequently filed by us with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, solely to the
extent designated therein, reports made on Form 6-K that we furnish to the SEC, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the

deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and be a part hereof
from the date of filing or furnishing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently
filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement.

Subsidiary Guarantee Release
Any Guarantor of the Notes that is a subsidiary of the Parent (a "Subsidiary
Guarantor") (including RAI), other than BATIF and BATNF, will automatically and
unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Guarantee, and such

Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture, (B) any other debt the terms of which permit
the termination of such Subsidiary Guarantor's guarantee of such debt under similar
circumstances, as long as such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations in respect of such
other debt are terminated at substantially the same time as its guarantee of the
Notes, (C) any debt that is being refinanced at substantially the same time that the
guarantee of the Notes is being released, provided that any obligations of the relevant

Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the debt that is incurred in the refinancing shall be

borrowed money and (D) for the avoidance of doubt, any debt in respect of which

such Subsidiary Guarantor is an obligor (as a guarantor or borrower) (i) between or

among themselves and with all other direct, unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations (except those obligations preferred by statute or operation of law) of the
Issuer and each of the Guarantors, respectively, from time to time outstanding. The
Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to any debt or other
obligations of any subsidiary of BAT that does not guarantee the Notes, with respect
to the earnings and assets of that subsidiary. See "Description of Debt Securities and
Guarantees Issued under the 2019 Indentures--Status of the Notes and Guarantees"

respect to the Notes and the Guarantees. See "Description of Debt Securities and
Guarantees Issued under the 2019 Indentures--Covenants of the Issuer and the
Guarantors" in the accompanying prospectus.

Events of Default

Redemption for Tax Reasons
The Issuer may redeem in whole but not in part, at its option, the relevant series of
Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of
such Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of
redemption, if the Issuer or a Guarantor becomes obligated to pay Additional
Amounts (as defined in "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees Issued under
the 2019 Indentures--Guarantees--Additional Amounts" in the accompanying
prospectus) due to a Change in Tax Law (as defined in "Description of Debt
Securities and Guarantees Issued under the 2019 Indentures--Redemption--
Redemption for Tax Reasons" in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to such
series of Notes or payments under the Guarantees in respect thereof. See
"Description of the Notes and the Guarantees Issued under the 2019 Indentures--
Redemption--Redemption for Tax Reasons" in the accompanying prospectus.

Payment of Additional Amounts
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, each of the Parent, BATIF and BATNF
will make payments pursuant to the applicable Guarantee without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, levy, impost or other similar
governmental charge ("Taxes") imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or for the
account of the United Kingdom (in the case of a payment by the Parent or BATIF) or
the Netherlands (in the case of a payment by BATNF), including in each case any
political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax (a
"Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction"), unless such withholding or deduction is required by
law. If any such Guarantor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to so
withhold or deduct such Taxes, such Guarantor will, subject to certain exceptions, pay
to the holder such Additional Amounts as will result in the receipt by the holder of
such amounts as would have been received by it if no such withholding or deduction
of Taxes had been required. See "Description of the Notes and the Guarantees--
Additional Amounts" and "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees Issued
under the 2019 Indentures--Additional Amounts" in the accompanying prospectus.

Denomination, Form and Registration of Notes
The Notes will be issued in fully registered form and only in denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will be issued initially as
Global Notes (as defined below).

Further Issues
The aggregate principal amount of Notes issuable under the Indenture is unlimited.
The Issuer may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of
the Notes in respect of any series of Notes "reopen" such series of Notes and create
and issue additional notes having different or substantially the same terms and
conditions as the Notes

RI SK FACT ORS
Investing in the Notes offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involves risk. Before you make a decision
to buy such Notes, you should read and carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in the sections captioned "Principal Group
Risks" and "Group Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on
March 26, 2020, incorporated by reference herein, as well as the risks described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and any related free writing prospectus or in other documents that are subsequently incorporated by reference. Additional risks
not currently known to us or that are currently deemed immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on us. You should carefully
consider the aforementioned risks together with the other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and
incorporated by reference herein before deciding to invest in the Notes. If any of those risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the applicable members of the BAT Group
may be unable to make required payments of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes.
Exchange rate risks and exchange controls may adversely impact currency conversions of principal and interest paid on the
Notes.
The Issuer will pay principal and interest on the Notes in U.S. dollars (the "Specified Currency"). This presents certain risks relating to
currency conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's
Currency") other than the Specified Currency. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due
to devaluation of the Specified Currency or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over the
Investor's Currency may impose or modify exchange controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to the
Specified Currency would decrease the Investor's Currency equivalent yield on the Notes, the Investor's Currency equivalent value of the
principal payable on the Notes and the Investor's Currency equivalent market value of the Notes.
The Notes will initially be held in book-entry form and therefore you must rely on the procedures of relevant clearing systems to
exercise any rights and remedies.
Unless and until Notes in definitive registered form, or definitive registered Notes, are issued in exchange for book-entry interests, owners
of book-entry interests will not be considered owners or holders of Notes. DTC, or its nominee, will be the registered holder of the Global

Notes for the benefit of its participants. After payment to the registered holder, we will have no responsibility or liability for the payment of
interest, principal or other amounts to the owners of book-entry interests. Accordingly, if you own a book-entry interest, you must rely on
the procedures of DTC, and if you are not a participant in DTC, on the procedures of the participants through which you own your interest,
to exercise any rights and obligations of a holder under the Indenture. See "Book Entry, Delivery and Form of Securities".
Unlike the holders of Notes themselves, owners of book-entry interests will not have any direct rights to act upon our solicitations for
consents, requests for waivers or other actions from holders of the Notes. Instead, if you own a book-entry interest, you will be permitted
to act only to the extent you have received appropriate proxies to do so from DTC, or, if applicable, from a participant. There can be no
assurance that procedures implemented for the granting of such proxies will be sufficient to enable you to vote on any matters on a timely
basis.
Similarly, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture, unless and until definitive registered notes are issued in respect
of all book-entry interests, if you own a book-entry interest, you will be restricted to acting through DTC. The procedures to be
implemented through DTC may not be adequate to ensure the timely exercise of rights under the Notes. See "Book Entry, Delivery and
Form of Securities".

The impact of the present coronavirus (the "COVID 19 pandemic") on our results of operations and financial condition is
uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The BAT Group continues to monitor developments closely as the COVID-19 pandemic develops. To date, the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the BAT Group's business has not been material, but if the situation deteriorates or persists for an extended period in key
geographies the risk of a significant adverse impact to the BAT Group's business will increase.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the BAT Group's business will depend on a range of factors which we are not able to
accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the geographies impacted, the impact of the pandemic on economic
activity and the nature and severity of measures adopted by governments. These factors include, but are not limited to:

·
Reductions or volatility in consumer demand for one or more of our products due to illness, retail closures, quarantine or other

travel restrictions, economic hardship and customer-downtrading (switching to a cheaper brand), which may impact the BAT
Group's market share.

·
The deterioration of socio-economic conditions and disruptions to the BAT Group's operations, such as its supply chain, or
manufacturing or distribution capabilities, which may result in increased costs due to the need for more complex supply chain

arrangements, to expand existing facilities or to maintain inefficient facilities, or in a reduction of the BAT Group's sales
volumes.

·
Significant volatility in financial markets (including exchange rate volatility) and measures adopted by governments and central

banks that further restrict liquidity, which may limit the BAT Group's access to funds, lead to shortages of cash and cash
equivalents needed to operate the BAT Group's business, and impact the BAT Group's ability to refinance its existing debt.
All of these factors may have material adverse effects on the BAT Group's results of operations and financial condition.
